There are counter claims that that building was being used for recruitment for the Azov battalion.

like seriously, lol. their intelligence were crappy enough to miss a bunch of air defense systems but they know that in some specific building is an recruitment for azov

  The specific building is the regional administration, and recruitment there was advertised in Ukrainian telegram channels. All that excuses nothing.

    there is recruitment to regional defense everywhere right now.

      This might be why they are starting to bomb everywhere now.

That’s what they said about a different building that got bombed in Kharkiv, a University Economics building, that the intended target was “Azov Battalion” across the street. They can’t seriously be bombing many different buildings and claiming they’re all “Azov Battalion.” Azov mainly operated around Mariupol too, not Kharkiv.

The Azov Battalion is the cause of everything, it seems. They're recruiting everywhere, I'm surprised it itself isn't the whole of the Ukrainian defenses now, if I believed all of the Russian shills. /s/Azov Battalion/Ukrainian National Guard/

  Yeah, they have around 2500 members, but that's totally a reason to lose 2000 people a day in an unprovoked invasion and tank your entire country's economy while doing it. Would be nice if Europe and the US would seize Putin and associates' accounts and donate them to Ukraine.

    It's basically akin to Canada deciding to invade the US because of the existence of the Proud Boys.
    - MisterBastahrd 5y ago
      Well, it's a little different. For one, Ukraine took all of these militia groups and made them a standard part of their military's operations. Apparently they've been working to defang the rhetoric of this particular group, but for Putin to pretend like he gives a shit about fascism given that he's currently the highest profile fascist world leader is a bit ridiculous.

    > Would be nice if Europe and the US would seize Putin and associates' accounts and donate them to Ukraine. I agree with this. Ukraine already has sustained tremendous damage, and of course it will get much worse before this ends. Take everything possible from Russia and give it over to Ukraine to help rebuild. Assuming they win. God I hope they win.
